Far from a manual for conquering the realms of earth, air, fire, and water, The Satanic Bible is Anton LaVey`s manifesto of a new religion separate from the traditional definitions of Satanism. While LaVey rails against the Christian church and white magicians, he busily weaves his own deceptions. As the smoke clears, he leads us through a surprisingly logical argument in favor of a life focused on self-indulgence. This book is less bible and more philosophy, but this philosophy is the backbone of a religion that, until LaVey entered the scene, was merely a myth of the Christian church. Paperback, 272 pages
